A new face in the House

House Democrats are pleased to welcome state Rep. Drew Hansen to the majority caucus.  Drew was appointed by the Kitsap County Commission this week to replace 23rd-district Rep. Christine Rolfes, who moved over to the Senate.  (And we wish Christine well, as she moves into the seat in that chamber vacated by Phil Rockefeller when Gov. Gregoire appointed him to the Northwest Power and Conservation Council.)  Rounding out the district’s legislative team is veteran Rep. Sherry Appleton of Poulsbo.

A resident of Bainbridge Island, Drew is an attorney, an active Kitsap community leader, an acclaimed author and a longtime member of the state’s Community Economic Revitalization Board

The new representative has already begun attending budget meetings at the Capitol in preparation for the special legislative session that will commence on November 28.
